Organ donation is considered as a very sacred act, since it gives new life to the patients, and their blessings would stay with us forever in our life. Usually when a person is declared as brain dead, his/her parents would come forward to donate the organs of their son/daughter.
Organ donation was in practice since ancient times, and from the Puranas, we can know about the noble act of the great sage Dadichi, who had sacrificed his life itself, by donating his backbone to make the divine weapon Vajrayudha. Through the Vajrayudha, Lord Indra killed the powerful demon Vritasura.
The various kinds are organ donations are as follows:
Heart Donation
